A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A Lazy Port – No Remastering The Marvel Ultimate Alliance Bundle came out of nowhere. With no previous news leaks of this re-release outside of a quick mention at a recent convention, the arrival of this bundle was a surprise to me and I’m sure other gamers around the world. The thought of getting a […]
Taking Out A Life Insurance Policy – Outside of Castle Crashers and the upcoming sequel to River City Ransom, the 2D Brawler isn’t as popular of a genre as it was in the 8-bit and16-bit eras. Dungeon Punks: Tag Team Brawler RPG harkens back to the beat’em ups of yesteryear such as Final Fight, Golden […]
Who You Gonna Call? Anyone Else! Activision is continuing their recent stint of releasing subpar licensed material with Ghostbusters (2016). This four-player twin sticker shooter is nothing more than a rinse-repeat grindfest that is only slightly more entertaining than an Excel spreadsheet. Although it was released side-by-side with the rebooted movie, this game has nothing […]
Adventroidvania – Mixing the questing of adventure games with a 2D sidescrolling environment of a Metroidvania, Dex is a split of narrative and action. The dystopian Blade Runner atmosphere, the lead female character, and unique merging of genres gives this indie game a different spin on familiar formulas. With a higher emphasis on narrative and […]
Kill It. Kill It With Fire! – 7 Days To Die sounds awesome on paper – take the hunting/gathering/crafting of Minecraft in a realistic-ish Fallout-like open environment and add some Resident Evil zombies and Left4Dead 4-player co-op. Unfortunately, the final product is so broken and terrible, it is actually pretty amazing how bad it really […]
Mechs Make It Better – Although it might look and play similarly to Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot has enough creative ideas to not only stand out from the previous 3DS title but from all other platform-based Kirby games of the past. This time around, Kirby is not hunting down King Dedede, Meta Knight or […]
It’s Official – Like the HyperX Cloud II and the HyperX Cloud Revolver before it, the Hyper X CloudX, built specifically for the Xbox One, continues Kingston’s streak of producing high quality headsets at a reasonable price point. The CloudX is essentially a repurposed Cloud II. The overall body design, sound quality, and features are […]
Making You Dumber – Several weeks ago, Skunk Software released Now I Know My ABCs on the Wii U eShop with an attempt to educate young children. Following up this abysmal digital download, Skunk just released Educational Pack of Kids Games as a sequel of sorts of their alphabet brethren. Unfortunately, like all the other […]
Bust – Looking at Skunk Software’s Wii U eShop history, it was only a matter of time before they completed their casino line-up of games to include Blackjack. Like Pharaoh’s Riches (slots) and 6 Hand Video Poker before it, Blackjack 21 is a worthless pile of digital garbage that contains no entertainment value whatsoever. This […]
Shell Shock – During the late 80s and even early 90s, there was no escaping the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From movies, to comics, to action figures, these anthropomorphic mammals where everywhere and had several standout games including a four-player hit arcade game and an original NES game known for its brutally […]
